Fox have just confirmed that The Simpsons complete sixth season will be released on DVD August 16th. No cover art or special features have been announced yet. Most probaly it will be similar to the previous sets. Cant wait for this. Some excellent episodes.

I just realised i posted this in the wrong place. Hopefully one of the admins will shift it. Sorry.

Amazon has the box. I'm shocked.

Not a fan of this at all. I'll still get it of course, but I hate boxes like this. At least it'll fit on the shelf.

Another on the box. The boxes for S1-S5 were classy and looked nice on a shelf. This looks like it's made out of thin plastic and will likely crack.

I was on the fence about this set (only 3-4 episodes that I significantly like in Season 6). If Fox actually uses a box like that, I will definitely take that set off of my shopping list. Since that image does not seem to be on Amazon's page for the DVD set at the moment, hopefully that is a sign that someone is rethinking that design.

I wish they had stayed with the uniformity of the boxes but this isn't something that will or won't get me to buy the set. I find the change weird since Fox always (to the best of my memory) sticks to the same packaging style for an entire series.

Although I'm sure some people (who seem to care more about the box than the content of the discs) will be seriously pissed off about this

And when they get to her, how are they gonna do Marge's hair?

I'm not particularly fond of the packaging since there are so many other couch gags that they could use, but I suppose the episodes themselves are what's important. Besides, the truly obsessive fans will just make their own boxes that match what they want.

They'll probably do Marge's hair the same way they draw it when she's in the car- fold it over on its side.

I don't like the fact that the "sameness" of Seasons 1 thru 5 is being so drastically destroyed by this new S.6 look. Although, gotta say, it is colorful. (Perhaps "movable eyeballs" would be a good idea here; that'd be something kinda new -- instead of "animated menus", we'd get "Animated Packaging". )

The "Marge head" package was mentioned earlier. Good point -- with her six-mile-high head of hair, that one will take up two shelves (vertically). LOL!

Re. this packaging --

It's possible, I suppose, that a "regular"-style box could be housed INSIDE this plastic outer "shell". That would be preferred by this writer. Perhaps FOX execs just wanted to "spice up" the look of Season 6 to aid potential sales. And this bright-as-the-sun yellow case should attract attention I would think.

But, from this 3-D look at it, I can't see HOW a "regular" style box could FIT INSIDE this thing -- doesn't appear nearly DEEP enough to accommodate it (unless they've "pulled an Andy Griffith" and replaced the previously-used Digipaks with "ThinPak" cases and have them as "Double ThinPaks", with more than 1 disc per slim case inside this Homer Head).

But, if this is not just a "shell" to house another box, I don't like the fact there's no spine text at all here. That ain't good at all.

I agree. I took my Walt Disney Treasures out of their tins because of this.

Okay, that box is fuckin' ridiculous.

Fox should stop hiring designers to make this crap and spend that money on clearing music rights for "The Wonder Years".

Eat my shorts, Fox.

Hate it, plain and simple. Love the show, love the season, hate the box. It's going to look extremely awkward on my shelf sitting alongside seasons 1-5. Although the case won't stop me from purchasing the set, I'd like to know what brilliant minds decided to concoct this. Different? Yes. Colorful? Yes. Acceptable? NO.

Count me as another I'd rather they stick with the uniform packaging.
